OK, first did one of your adult children claim you as a dependent on THEIR tax return? Ask them! They might have done that — and it disqualified you from receiving a stimulus check.
It was a crazy rule, and no one knew that would happen when they filed in 2018. But maybe they didnt claim you in 2019 – in which case you could still get your check.

But if you were not claimed as a dependent in either of those two years — to your knowledge — then you can file form 3911.
Here is the link to do that and an explanation of where to mail the form:

And if you’re still having trouble after you file this, please feel free to write back.
